1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory intestinal disorder that affects 2%-5% of all premature infants. Enterobacter sakazakii, a common contaminant of milk-based powdered infant formula, has been implicated as a causative agent of sepsis, meningitis, and NEC in newborn infants, with high mortality rates. However, the role played by E. sakazakii in the pathogenesis of NEC is, to date, not known. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that E. sakazakii can induce clinical and histological NEC in newborn rats. E. sakazakii was found to bind to enterocytes in rat pups at the tips of villi and to intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) in culture, with no significant invasion. Exposure to E. sakazakii induced apoptosis and increased the production of interleukin-6 in IEC-6 cells and in the animal model. These data suggest that E. sakazakii could be a potential pathogen that induces NEC and triggers intestinal disease by modulating enterocyte intracellular signaling pathways.
